And the devout would-be beheader said upon sentencing. "The Koran is the truth that invalidates all other religions," said
Sherifi, who declined a court-appointed lawyer and represented himself
at trial. "If you do not submit, he will severely judge you, and on the
day of judgment you will enter hellfire."

Of course he is not remorseful, he does not believe in American law (or any other law -- in accordance with Islamic teachings). There is only the sharia.

Notice the plan was thwarted by a government informant -- the same program that Muslim Brotherhood groups like Hamas CAIR are working aggressively to stop. To what end? Well, the Boston jihad bombing had no such informants.

A North Carolina man was sentenced Friday to four life terms for
plotting to behead federal witnesses whose testimony helped convict him
for his role in an earlier plot to slaughter U.S. servicemen and their
families.

Hysen Sherifi, 29, was one of six Raleigh-area Muslims convicted in
2011 of planning to attack the Marine base in Quantico, Va., and
overseas targets.

Shortly after starting his 45-year prison sentence in the terror
case, Sherifi approached another inmate to help him hire a hit man to
behead government informants and FBI agents. He recruited his younger
brother Shkumbin Sherifi, 23, and former special education teacher
Nevine Aly Elshiekh, 48, to help pay the hit man and organize the
murders.

But the inmate whose help Sherifi sought turned out to be yet another
government informant. FBI agents then staged an elaborate sting that
involved secretly videotaped meetings with a woman posing as the
go-between for a fictional hit man named Treetop and doctored photos
that appeared to show the corpse of a beheaded witness in a shallow
grave.

Federal prosecutors recommended leniency for the two coconspirators,
who pleaded guilty last year and agreed to testify at the elder
Sherifi's trial on nine felony counts.

Citing their extensive cooperation, U.S. District Senior Judge Earl
Britt sentenced the younger Sherifi to 3 years in prison, while Elshiekh
got 3 1/2 years. They had faced as much as 10 years each.

Before Hysen Sherifi was sentenced, he lectured the judge about Islamic teachings.

"The Koran is the truth that invalidates all other religions," said
Sherifi, who declined a court-appointed lawyer and represented himself
at trial. "If you do not submit, he will severely judge you, and on the
day of judgment you will enter hellfire."

"That it?" asked Britt, who has served more than three decades on the
federal bench. The judge then tacked the four life sentences onto the
end of Sherifi's earlier 45-year prison term, along with another 50
years on top of that.

"There can be no doubt Mr. Sherifi, the defendant in this case, meets
the definition of a terrorist," Britt said. "He was the genesis of this
conspiracy. He was the mastermind, though I'm hesitant to use that term
because it affords him more credit than he is due."
